Postcodes in Brazil follow a nationwide scheme known as CEP (Código de Endereçamento Postal) (Postal Addressing Code) introduced in 1972 as a sequence of five digits. To keep mail services up with economic growth, a three-digit suffix was added in 1992.
Most cities with population around 100,000 and above have a CEP assigned to every public place and to some high-occupancy private spaces, like major commercial buildings and large residential condos. Small towns are assigned a general code, usually with attributed town code followed by the suffix -000.
Correios, Brazil's mail service, requests (but not requires) that the code be placed in the last line of the address and although totally unrequired (and even unwanted by automatic sorting machines) the acronym CEP is usually placed before the code, e.g. CEP 29145-586.
Valid examples for mailing in Brazil are:
Editora Peixes S.A. Rua Helena, 260, 4º andar Vila Olímpia São Paulo - SP CEP 04552-050
or
Editora Peixes S.A. Rua Helena, 260, 4º andar Vila Olímpia São Paulo - SP 04552-050
Any CEP code can be obtained from Correio's website, if you have a Flash plugin (in Portuguese).
